someone claims that his problem disappeared when he didn't have

you as well.<br>
Change your folder name from Downloads/Serial Driver to
Downloads/SerialXDriver <br>
<br>
Curious if that's it...<br>

Yes, both of those are installed, and I'm running mythbuntu

Do you have binutils and the linux-headers packages installed?<br>
<br>
What version of mythbuntu are you running?<br>
<br>

little while now and I've come to the step of setting up a serial
ir blaster. My motherboard did not come with a serial port so I
purchased an Iocrest PCI-Express Multi I/O Controller serial
card. I see the card when typing in "lspci" in a CLI. However,
I've determined the card needs a driver, because when I put the
command to find my ir blaster, "dmesg | grep tty" it oly comes up
with "[ 0.000000] console [tty0] enabled". When i plug the ir
blaster into an older lubuntu computer I have I get "[
0.000000] console [tty0] enabled<br>
> [ 1.029792] 00:08: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4, base_baud
= 115200) is a 16550A". So it seems to find the blaster on the
older computer, probably because the serial port is built into the
motherboard. So, I found and downloaded the linux driver for the
card that needs to be compiled. I've extracted the zip file the
driver is in, navigate to the directory where the makefile is and
then enter the command "make". I then get these errors:
